Junior Production Coordinator Review

Organising logistics for a TV production. Speaking to contributors, making schedules, finding locations, organising copyright, recording expenses, supporting filming team.

Yes, so many. I've learnt so much about TV and all of the processes that go into making - in my specific case - a documentary series. So much that I could not have learnt outside of the industry.

It's a fantastic opportunity, a really great programme. Of course, it is specific to what placement you get and what team you're on, but they really do work hard to make it the best opportunity it could be.

That depends from placement to placement. I have had great structure and know what is expected of me and the apprenticeship.

I receive a great amount of support from my line manager and production manager. I also feel that, as a whole, I am supported by the BBC and the higher-ups, who take a genuine interest in what we are going.

I receive support from my college tutor when we meet twice a month.

The qualification does not feel necessary. It's the work that's done on placement that counts, where all the learning happens. The qualification feels like ticking boxes and is often repetitive. That said, it does not take up much of my time so I don't mind.

The BBC and Young Talent Network have lots of events to meet others/chat to people. I would not confuse this was the type and quantity of social events that you are offered at uni, however.

Yes

Because it is a renowned organisation that truly care about bringing up new talent. Everyone here wants to help, and it really couldn't be a better place to learn the ropes in TV.

Be confident, or at least act it
